Pettersson remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Head coach Bruce Boudreau said Pettersson's injury is not a long-term issue and they hope he'll be able to play on Thursday.

Chytil has been out of the lineup for the last three games but will play Wednesday vs. the Blues. Chytil has had a very quiet season offensively, scoring just five goals with seven assists (12 points) in 41 games.



Lankinen has not played since January 22nd due to a hand injury but will be available for one of the Blackhawks' games this weekend. Originally, the Blackhawks said that he would start Sunday but have back-tracked and haven't decided who will start Friday and who will start Sunday.

Hronek missed two games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Thursday in New York. Hronek, who has eight points (1G / 7A) in his last 13 games, will replace Gustav Lindstrom (mid-body).

Oleksiak has missed the last nine games with a lower-body injury but will play Friday in Anaheim. Oleksiak has scored one goal with 10 assists (11 points) in 37 games this season.

Hronek will not be available for five days, which means he'll miss at least one game and will be questionable for Monday's game in Minnesota. It's unclear who will replace Hronek on Saturday but Troy Stecher (IR) skated in his spot on Thursday.



Lankinen will be out until after the All-Star break, so Arvid Soderblom will serve as the No.2 goalie behind Marc-Andre Fleury.

Chytil is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not play on Monday. Expect Morgan Barron to draw into the lineup to replace the third liner.

Chytil played just 4:08 TOI on Saturday before leaving the game with a lower-body injury and not returning. The rangers did not provide much of an update on Chytils' status but called him "day-to-day," which makes him questionable for Monday's game vs. the Kings.

Demko will not be available for Friday's game vs. the Panthers or Sunday's game vs. the Blues. The Canucks will be in tough this weekend, missing Demko, Bo Horvat, Conor Garland and J.T. Miller due to COVID-19 protocol.

Oleksiak, who missed practice yesterday due to a non-COVID illness, will be re-evaluated but is doubtful as of now to be in tonight.

The Canucks don't play until Saturday against the Senators but that game could end up getting postponed given the breakout in Ottawa's dressing room. If it doesn't, Pettersson will likely only miss one game.

DeBrusk will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. the Devils after being placed on the COVID-19 protocol list. Oskar Steen is expected to move up to the third line with DeBrusk sidelined.

O'Connor is the latest Pittsburgh Penguin to test positive for COVID-19 and will likely miss all three games this week. Brian Boyle (personal) should replace him in the lineup on Wednesday.

Gallagher missed the second half of Thursday's game in Carolina with a lower-body injury and is doubtful to play Saturday afternoon. With Gallagher out, Jesse Ylonen is expected to skate on the Canadiens' top line.
